^^ Rich comparing Discovery to Farscape. Kind of legit? Except darker.

Heh. They nailed the evil Admiral trope.

This reminds me that it has been a few years since I watched Farscape through.

I've been getting awfully nostalgic for completed series that no one can/has yet ruined. I should go revist that again.  :smitten:

Pike has been cast for season 2

Whether or not they include Spock in the show, he would be on Enterprise as Pike's science officer during the timeline Discovery is set.

Interesting, but I wonder if it would even resemble Star Trek. Nothing else does these days.

Considering that Meyer also wrote ST2, and 4 and 6 (and was probably involved with the best parts of 3, iirc), I wouldn't be too worried about him being the chief creative force behind a relaunch.

(In Clancy Brown's voice) I assume too much! One day, I will go too far.

I had one of these as a kid. Wish I still had it, it's worth a small fortune. :(

And....done. I've watched the entire season. Not-easy-to-do. It was said way up thread that the show taken outside of the Star Trek universe isn't bad. I agree with that. However, it IS IN NO WAY Star Trek. Not even close. I could write almost as much as Trumps tweets about what is wrong with the show.

And all of this talk about season 2 making everything fall in line with classic Star Trek? BS. The only way they could do that is if Michael Burnham wakes up next to Suzanne Pleshette and realizes it was all a BAD dream.

Sigh. I'll say it again. Star Trek died June 2, 1999.

I'm impressed you watched it. Trek died well before 99.

That's the thing. It's actually watchable. It's just not Trek.

I still don't get why they stubbornly insist that the show is in the prime timeline. 

I'd actually like and accept it a lot more if they just straight admitted it was a reboot.  Because it is. 

I do like that season two is bringing back the branch of service uniforms though.  And the casting of Anson Mount as Pike was inspired.
